Description
Nestled on 14.1 acres along a quiet and peaceful dirt road, this property boasts a unique history and timeless charm. Constructed from 1977 to 1979, this gambrel-style residence echoes the design of the Tavern in Machias, Maine, dating back to the 1790s. The meticulous craftsmanship shines throughout the home with antique lumber and bricks adding character to the post-and-beam structure. Step inside to discover a blend of tradition and innovation. A central masonry arch graces the staircase, incorporating six chimney flues. Radiant heating discreetly warms the ceilings, preserving the antique ambiance of the rooms. Shaker-inspired details, from hand-planed walls to framed raised panel cabinets, enhance the interior's rustic elegance. The home???s expansion in 1990 integrated additional living space, including an oversized three-bay garage while preserving the home's classic aesthetic. There is room for all including 4 bedrooms, an office/den, and many living spaces. Beyond the main house lies a charming guest cottage accessed by a separate driveway. It includes a kitchenette, bathroom, one bedroom, and living space with a propane heater. Outside, the landscape unfolds with mature fruit trees, rock gardens, and vibrant flora, creating a picturesque backdrop. From the twisted plum trees to the towering horse chestnut, every corner of the grounds exudes natural beauty and serenity. The convergence of two streams on the edge of the property fills the air with meditative sounds.
